Job Hunting Training (CV, Application Writing, Interview Guide) – iPerformance Uganda Ltd
JOB HUNTING TRAINING (CV, Application Writing and Interviews)
Statistically, Uganda has one of the highest unemployment rates of 83% in the East African region. That’s a hard fact owing to the fact that we actually post over 30,000 jobs annually. Following our recent survey and engagements with employers, the highest feedback we got from them is that many job seekers appear not to understand the job requirements of the adverts they send to us. There are many myths about recruitment and how employers are biased or already have their people before they post the job adverts. Strangely though, all education institutions empower us with knowledge and skills to thrive on the job but never teach us the basics of marketing ourselves. As a testimony, we do have a person who has changed jobs 13 times all using theugandanjobline.com as their job source for the last 6 years we have been in existence.
Rationale of Training:
This training seeks to guide fresh graduates, the under-employed, those stuck in the same position for over 3 years, recruiters and even students who seek to discover the art of job searching particularly the skills of selling yourself and acing any job interview.
Ask yourself some questions:
